Flock 1.0.1
November 7th, 2007
Some time ago, I made a post about a new browser called “Flock”.
Flock is a “social browser” built on Firefox. It has a new/different interface than Firefox, and several integrated buttons and shortcuts to many popular social and “Web 2.0″ sites such as Blogger, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, and del.icio.us.
Flock has been in beta for a long time (I first posted about it over 2 years ago), but it has now reached a “final” state.
Visit Flock.com to download it now!

Space Cowboy Online – a new, free online game
May 30th, 2006
to put it simply, Space Cowboy Online is an online jet flying game. it kinda plays similar to how StarFox played. SCO tries to play like any other online role playing game, except the twist is instead of walking around and killing stuff with swords or magic, you become engaged in dogfights with enemies in the sky or space while using machine guns, missiles, etc.
on May 25th, the SCO servers went live.
you can find out more about the game from its official site, http://sco.gpotato.com/.

uTorrent, a new and cool BitTorrent client
November 10th, 2005
the uTorrent client was recently updated (or “µTorrent”, as it’s really called).
uTorrent is like many other BitTorrent clients, except for a few notable things. while trying to copy the features and look of Azureus (the most popular BitTorrent client) its is able to use significantly less resources.
while Azureus requires that the Java runtime enviroment and itself both be installed, uTorrent is a native Windows application, and doesn’t require anything else installed. as of version 1.2, uTorrent is just 105K total in size. typical ram usage is around 6 megs or less. Azureus would sometimes take up 64-80 megs of ram, even when on no torrents!
